Recording and Production / Re: Experiencing a weird issue with recording

@SandHog Did you end up going with the one you mentioned above?

You could also link it. You could also write a review about it, once you have used it a bit.

In fact, I'm going to make a gear review category.

Yes, voting is closed.

The good news is that it will be going invite only. I would expect this change to take place in early January 2019. I will need to do some testing, but it appears to work. It's an SMF modification and those are sometimes buggy, so I'll have to do a bit of advanced testing that I've not yet done. I wanted to gauge community interest before investing the time to test.

Each user will be given x-amount of invite codes per x-amount of time. If they use those codes, they'll replenish themselves at the start of the next unit of time. Admins can generate extra invite codes as needed.

I am taking the entire month of January off. I was going to go on a real vacation, but that's no longer realistic. So, I will stay home and do only those things I feel like doing. Working on this site will be one of those things that I'll feel like doing. I will be doing zero work. Work is, in this case, defined as things I don't feel like doing at that point in time.

So, no date is set in stone - but it's likely to be January of 2019. I do want to give some time for folks to join and get involved early. I will be announcing when the change will take place. I will give people a couple of weeks, probably. I am assuming that I'll make three announcements.

After that, we go invite-only. We don't really have much of an issue with people trolling our community, but I'd like to nip it in the bud before it becomes a problem. This is not a free-speech site. It's a limited speech zone. I don't really need the hassle of dealing with my hosting company kicking me out. So, we have limited speech - 'cause I also don't want to have to regularly use the moderation tools. I really dislike banning people and wasting my time removing posts.

This is not my first forum. No, no it is not.

Technical correction: You do have a sound card, it's just built in! (It's still considered a sound card, it's an 'onboard sound card.') At least I'm 99.98% sure of this.

Are you referring to the volume fading in and out?

If so, there's a few things you can try. One, it's probably the mic. If you went too cheap, you get too cheap. Reviews will help with that.

In my learning process, I first tried an onboard sound card. I had zero luck. I then got some cheap $20 card. I also had zero luck. I then bought a very, very expensive professional sound card - and I had zero luck.

It turns out, the 2nd one (the $20 one) was fine. I was just REALLY bad at it. With the onboard sound, I'd fill the buffer and get points of silence. That went away with the cheap one - and I suspect other problems went away but I was still too new to notice them.

The expensive sound card sits in a PC that I don't actually use. It made so little difference that I haven't bothered moving it. I also thought I had another buffer issue, but that was actually an Audacity timing issue that took some work to resolve and has nothing to do with your problem.

One of the causes might be electronic interference. Your devices are probably leaky. They're emitting all sorts of EMR. That could cause this problem.

What you can try is moving the mic as far away from the computer as the cord will let it go.

There's also the distance of the mic from the amp. You can try increasing that distance.

And, of course, this is really @MrHarryReems domain. He may think of something I don't know.

LOL Read 42 times.

I'd call you an attention whore but that'd be mean and that's kinda what you're supposed to be doing. Keep 'em eating from the palm of your hand, kid.

Also, blame @COF if you don't like tonight's movie.

If they cancel next Sunday, they still pay a goodly percentage. So, we'll be paid regardless.

Huh... It's a Willie song that i didn't previously know.

My show has been postponed due to weather. It's snowing pretty heavily right now.

LOL Hun, I'm a horrible influence. At least you started off in style!

"I am EH, hear me roar!"

Well, gents... If a LITTLE GIRL can start making posts and sharing, what's stopping you?

You did a great job, kid. Even the mix is good to my ears. A little bit heavy with #1 at the 2nd solo, maybe tone it down a bit and let the acoustic through a little more. Did you keep the .wav files?

Disclosure: I wasn't sure what she was going to do with this song. She was like, "I can play that. That's easy!" Then she told me I had to do the rhythm and the backup guitar parts 'cause she still has trouble multi-tracking to her own playing. The metronome is not yet an innate sense!

That blinking light is there to remind you. The true timing actually comes from inside, not from the light. Still, she's getting better at using minimum force. She's not hammering on the strings, so you get the clean tones. She is my understudy in whom I am well pleased.

Also, she can post here all she wants. We are firm believers in nepotism! Fuck with her and I will cut you!

I am here! I need to poke around the sight a little and see what it’s all about, but I’m here  :)

Poke 'em. You can't break anything.

There's a poll somewhere. We're going invite-only, it looks like. You can opine on that? I dunno... Make the thread you want to make. That's how it starts. ;-)

It's a forum. Forums are for communication. That's their whole purpose, @LegalPERSON !

This site is much like the guitar threads. It's not just the archive, it's a framework for you.

You gonna have some music for us tonight? What's going on? Jump on in, the water is pretty warm.
